|Madonna singles chronology
"Hey You" is a charity song written by American singer Madonna who co-produced it with Pharrell Williams. The song was released as part of the Live Earth campaign and was free to download from websites like MSN. It was released digitally as well as on the CD and DVD of the Live Earth concerts on December 4, 2007.[2] Musically it is a stripped-down, folksy ballad with straightforward, anthem-like lyrics talking about how to save the world from destruction. The song received generally mixed reviews, with one group of reviewers commenting that the modest message of the song was uninspiring while others called the song sweet and commended Madonna's commitment to charity.
"Hey You" was initially released as a free download for a period of seven days before being made available as a regular digital single. Once it had been released as a regular digital single, it entered the lower reaches of the sales charts of a few countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden and Switzerland. Madonna only performed the song once at the Live Earth concert, London, where she was joined by a choir of school children who provided backing vocals to her singing while the backdrops displayed images relevant to the song's message, like natural devastations, different cultures and political leaders.
"Hey You" was written by Madonna,[3] who also co-produced it along with Pharrell Williams in honor of the 2007 Live Earth concert in London. It was inspired by the climate change campaign.[4] It became Madonna's first released material to be written entirely by herself since "Gambler" (1985).[5] Live Earth was a music event that brought together more than hundred headlining artists in a series of concerts, two billion people and launched a mass movement to combat climate crisis. The concerts took place in cities like New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro etc. It marked the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by The Alliance for Climate Protection to move individuals, corporations and governments to take action.[6] The song was made available to be downloaded in MP3 and WMA formats on MSN's Live Earth website.[6] Microsoft pledged to donate $0.25 per download to the "Alliance for Global Climate Change" society for the first million downloads of the track.[7] Live Earth founder Kevin Wall said in a statement, "We are thrilled that Madonna donated her art to Live Earth and is a part of this movement for us."[7]

"Hey You" is a stripped-down, straightforward mid-tempo ballad[8] with influences of folk in it and features lyrics like "Hey you/ Don't you give up/ It's not so bad/ There's still a chance for us."[7] The lyric conveys the message that purifying your own soul can open the way, by which one can change the mind of others.[8] According to The New York Times, the lyrics have straightforward, anthem-like meaning with lines like "You can change someone else/Then you have saved someone else/ But you must first love yourself."[9] Daryl Davis from Blogcritics felt that "Hey You" is about making the world a better place. The song begins with the sound of acoustic guitars, leading to an instrumental chorus, which according to Davis, is "simple and touching".[10]
Critical reception[edit]
Sarah Hall from E! Online called the song to be unlikely inspiring to the listeners to hit the dance floor.[7] Jon Pareles from The New York Times, while reviewing the Live Earth concert in London, said that the song and its lyrics like "Don't you give up/it's not so bad" are not exactly eloquent.[11] While reviewing Madonna's album Hard Candy, he commented that "Hey You" failed to be the equivalent of Madonna's cover version of John Lennon's song "Imagine". He also noted that "[t]he song came and went, raising some corporate donations".[12] Alessandra Stanley from The New York Times commented that the song had a modest message with lines like "Don't you give up/it's not so bad/there's still a chance for us."[13]
Michael Hirschorn from The Atlantic Monthly said that the song was proof that Madonna's heart was in the right place.[8] Responses from the Madonna fansites were also mixed with some fans decrying the track's message as overly sentimental and the lyrics as weak, while others defended the song as "sweet" and "not that bad," while commending the singer's commitment to charity.[7] Daryl D from Blogcritics felt that "even if the lyrics are slightly clichéd, Madonna gives her best vocal performance since the Evita years and adds feeling when the lyrics falter.... The production on this record is outstanding. It also proves that Madonna brings more to the table on her own records than her critics give her credit for because this sounds absolutely nothing like a song Pharrell Williams would produce. The acoustic guitars at the beginning lead to an instrumental chorus that is simple and touching."[10]
Chart performance[edit]
"Hey You" was promoted through the official Live Earth website and the July 7, 2007 concert in London. There was no physical single released. However, it managed to chart in countries like Canada, Sweden and Switzerland in its second week of release based purely on paid downloads. In Canada the song entered for one week on the Canadian Hot 100 chart at position fifty-seven and was present for one week only.[14] In Switzerland, it entered the chart at number 60, but fell down to number 91 the next week. The song started climbing up again and ultimately reached a peak of number 55 on the chart issue dated September 2, 2007. "Hey You" was present on the chart for a total of seven weeks.[15] It debuted on the Swedish Singles Chart at number 58 and reached a peak of 57, being present on the chart for three weeks.[16] The song was also able to chart at the lower positions of the UK Singles Chart, at number 187 based on downloads.[17] In the Czech Republic, it reached the top ten and peaked at number nine on the airplay charts.[18] "Hey You" also entered on the Digital charts of Italy, reaching a peak of number 36 in its fourth week.[19] In the United States, the song sold 3,000 digital downloads after it was made non-free on iTunes Store. The song was not eligible to chart on the Hot Digital Songs since both Billboard and Nielsen SoundScan do not allow free downloads to chart.[20]
Live performance[edit]
On May 17, 2007, Warner Bros. Records announced Madonna as one of the seventeen headliners performing at Wembley Stadium for the London stop of the Live Earth concerts. It is still the only venue where Madonna has performed the song.[6] Madonna's set list was the last performance of the London leg before the concert moved to New York City. "Hey You" was the first of the set list which consisted of a total of four songs.[21] It was also used as the bridging music between the bands performing at Wembley. The performance started with the symbolic turning-off of lights of the stadium which plunged it into darkness except for the lights on the stage and that from the cameras. Actor Terence Stamp who compered the show, declared "Let's not be endarkened by this, let's be enlighteened by this. Let it be the beginning of an adventure!"[22] Madonna came out on the stage wearing a black satin leotard[23] accompanied by a long line of children in school uniform.[24] The children were compared to the Hogwarts school choir from the Harry Potter series by The New York Times.[13] Madonna started singing the song while holding the amplifier in her hand. The backdrop imitated the song's message by displaying a procession of images of environmental devastations like fires, nuclear power plants, suffering animals—which altered with images of visionary leaders like Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mahatma Gandhi, and current political leaders like George W. Bush, Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy.[8] The video progressed to display the image of underdressed but nonetheless festive African children tossing a globe into the air, where it resolved into an image of the Earth as seen from space.[8] The idea of the video was to transpose the images of the world leaders with natural disasters.[22] The lyrics of the song were also projected as supertitles.[9] Backing vocals were provided by the children. The performance ended with Madonna and the kids coming in front of the stage and saluting the crowd.[25] This backdrop was created by Johan Söderberg and Marcus Lindkvist to support Live Earth. The performance saw an increase in Madonna's digital and album sales. HMV reported that sales of Madonna's 1990 greatest hits compilation The Immaculate Collection doubled up than that from the previous week of the performance. Also, there was an increase in the downloads of "Hey You" from the retailers.[26]

HONG KONG -- Four horses in the Olympic equestrian team jumping competition, including one from Norway's bronze-medal team, have been provisionally suspended after testing positive for a banned pain reliever.
The drug test results -- positive for capsaicin in each case -- were announced Thursday afternoon by the sport's international governing body.
The horse Camiro, ridden by Tony Andre Hansen, was part of Norway's bronze-medal team, and the team could lose its medal. The other three horses are Ireland's Lantinus, ridden by Dennis Lynch; Brazil's Chupa Chup, ridden by Bernardo Alves; and Germany's Coster, ridden by Christian Ahlmann.
Hansen, Lynch and Alves will not be allowed to ride in Thursday night's individual competition. Ahlmann wasn't entered in the event.
A second blood sample for each horse will be tested in an "accelerated procedure," in the next two days, said FEI secretary general Alexander McLin.
Capsaicin, a derivative of chili peppers, is prohibited for its pain-relieving properties.
"I can't tell how it was applied," Paul Farrington of the FEI's veterinary commission said. "It's usually in a topical lotion or a paste. It's not administered by mouth."
He said 15 of 49 horses in the competition were randomly chosen for testing, including one from each team that won medals.\

Paladino Says He's Sorry Now
Saying he's a "simple man" who makes mistakes, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino apologized Tuesday for comments he made about gays that provoked charges of homophobia.
Mr. Paladino, in a statement from his campaign, said he should have chosen "better words" when he told a gathering of Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn on Sunday that children should not be "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option."
While saying some of his remarks were "misinterpreted," Mr. Paladino expressed remorse: "I sincerely apologize for any comment that may have offended the Gay and Lesbian Community or their family members."
Mr. Paladino's original comments drew a chorus of rebukes from gay-rights activists, Democrats, including his opponent Andrew Cuomo, and major figures within his party. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani on Monday called on Mr. Paladino to apologize, saying he was astonished by Mr. Paladino's "lack of understanding" of human behavior.
A wealthy developer from Buffalo, Mr. Paladino cast himself as flawed but down-to-earth. "I have made mistakes all my life—as we all have," he said. "I am what I am—a simple man who works hard, trusts others, and loves his family and fears for the future of our State."
Initially, as the uproar grew, Mr. Paladino stayed defiant. On TV Monday, he said he didn't regret his remarks. While insisting he had "no problem" with homosexuality, he said he found it "disgusting" that Mr. Cuomo brought his daughters to the Gay Pride parade, exposing them to "grinding" men in Speedos.
In his apology, Mr. Paladino said, "Any reference to branding an entire community based on a small representation of them is wrong." He said he supports "civil agreements" and noted that his opposition to gay marriage is shared by President Barack Obama, a Democrat.
The head of a gay GOP group called Mr. Paladino's contrition an "encouraging sign." Gregory T. Angelo, state chairman of the Log Cabin Republicans, said it "shows that the Paladino camp understands that they cannot win this election without votes from the gay community."
But state Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs called it a "non-apology."

What is Visual Design?
Visual design is frequently disregarded in discussions of client experience. While visual design is maybe, not the most important thing in the world of outline, it is an indispensable segment of conveying items that individuals like to utilize. Not at all like a different parts of client experience plan, visual outline requires some artistic ability – individuals like me who can't make a stick man resemble a stick man need not have any significant bearing.
What is Visual Design?
Solidarity. Great visual designs propose a specific shared arrangement of characteristics between everything appeared on a page. This shouldn't come to the detriment of assortment (an excessive amount of likeness infers dullness on a substantial scale) however it ought to be clear for an outline that there is a reasonable connection between everything that is displayed.
Gestalt. IDF offers a few courses on Gestalt hypothesis. The Gestalt is just the understanding that when we see a configuration we have a tendency to see the general outline rather than separating it into its constituent components.
Space. The utilization of space is indispensable to conveying a configuration that doesn't overpower the individual survey it. There are entire books to be composed about the utilization of white space ( space we don't place anything in) and afterward, there's dividing between components, between characters, and so on to consider as well.
Hierarchy. It's frequently the visual creator's business to demonstrate the significance of various components of the item/site by showing this through visual pecking orders. The measure of textual style utilized or the shading plan and obviously where things are really situated on a page as well.
Equalization. The visual fashioner needs to make the feeling that things are similarly distributed that doesn't imply that they must be symmetrical (however this is a superbly adequate methodology if an unfathomably difficult undertaking) yet they ought to feel adjusted.
Contrast. The utilization of emphasis, sizes, bearings, and so on can be utilized to make certain components emerge and get the client's attention.
Scaling. The utilization of scales in the visual parts of configuration can get a client's consideration and imply the connections between various components of a site or application.
Predominance. Now and again you need a client's thoughtfulness regarding be centered around a solitary thing or single region before it meanders somewhere else. A visual designer can control hues, positions, sizes, and so forth to accomplish predominance for a solitary component and make it less demanding to suspect how a client will react in a given circumstance.
Likeness. A visual designer will likewise include the touches that make diverse zones of the same site or item sufficiently comparable to be promptly identifiable as a component of the same entire whilst doing distinctive assignments.
The visual designer has a critical part to play in the improvement of the client experience and by and large, it is maybe one of the most effortless parts to load with numerous school graduates spend significant time in visual outline before they set out on their profession.
What Is JavaScript & What Is It Used For?
Many of us have often seen a pop up come on our screen which says we need to run Java or update JavaScript. Most of the people get confused between these two and wonder what the difference between Java and JavaScript is.
What is the use of JavaScript?
There are no special codes to create JavaScript. This is because it is an interpreted language. Notepad or any other similar plain text editor can be used to create the language.
Can designers use HTML instead of JavaScript?
HTML may not be used instead of JavaScript. Both these programming languages are completely different and have different functions, features and capabilities. While HTML is a markup language and is designed to create static web page content, JavaScript is a programming language that can perform dynamic tasks. It can be used again and again on different pages of a site. This can be done by externalizing and placing it in separate files and linking a JavaScript file to the HTML code of the particular page. Hence, JavaScript can be added to many pages by adding the correct tags on each of the pages.
Not everyone who owns a business may be well versed with JavaScript or know how to use it. Using it to create your site can only benefit your site because of the various aspects that JavaScript can add to it. Hence, it would always be helpful if you can hire a professional web design company who can help you build your site using JavaScript. The team of professional designers can sit with you, understand your business and design a site keeping all your business needs in mind.
What is HTML 5?
In order to understand HTML 5, you must know a little bit about HTML. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, which is the standard code format used to create web pages. These codes, also known as tags, are enclosed by the lesser than (<) and greater than (>) brackets. The opening bracket is followed by an element, which is a browser command, and ends with the closing bracket.
This is the code that resides behind the scenes of most web pages you view online. It is the code that keeps all of the wording in order, the images in certain places, and it allows the web designer to add structure to any Web design by creating code specifically designed for that site.
What is HTML 5?
This is where HTML 5 has finally come on board. From within the code itself, this new revision keeps its promise in providing the capabilities of embedding video and a variety of other aspects of rich media. This particular HTML code provides webmasters and designers the capabilities of embedding in-browser storage, editable content, drag-and-drop features, vector graphics, and a variety of other elements as well. All of these processes will be able to be written in code without the use of third-party plug-ins. Quite frankly, developers and designers have been waiting for the day that a code will be created that will allow them to accomplish these simple processes, and it's finally here.

As early runs of king and sockeye return to streams of the Kenai Peninsula, they bring more than the roe and milt that brings about the cycle of life. The very nature of anadromous fish is that they also carry the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and other minerals stored in their bodies after years of growing in the high seas.
The good news is that Elodea, the first submerged freshwater invasive plant to make it to Alaska, may be gone from the Kenai Peninsula. Last week, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge biologists re-surveyed 50 sites in each of the three lakes on the Kenai Peninsula in which Elodea is (or was) known to occur. When these lakes north of Nikiski were first surveyed in May 2014, just prior to herbicide treatments, Elodea was present on 70 percent of Beck Lake sites, 50 percent of Stormy Lake sites, and 22 percent of Daniels Lake sites.
Today is Earth Day! It's celebrated every April 22, the first time in 1970 by 20 million Americans. When Earth Day went global in 1990, 200 million people from 141 countries celebrated. Now, in 2016, 193 countries will participate, their efforts coordinated by the Earth Day Network (http://www.earthday.org/).
Most Alaskans would likely agree that this has been a winter of very strange weather with very strange outcomes. Winter 2015 was the warmest the U.S. has experienced since records began in 1895 — Alaska was almost 11 degrees warmer than normal! The first wildfire of 2016 near Delta was strange on two counts: it started in tundra and it started in late February. During the first week of our rainy January, a local resident sent me a photo of a gentian blooming in her rock garden above the Kenai River!
Last week, during yet another winter meltdown on the Kenai Peninsula, I heard three stories about bears on the prowl. There was a guy in Homer who managed to chase off a subadult brown bear with bear spray, reports of several bears roaming Anchorage 'burbs, and an observation by a refuge colleague on the Alaska Peninsula of a brown bear over a moose kill. So what woke up the bears?
Scientific research is something all of us were exposed to in school and something we hear routinely in the news. Most know that the hallmark of good science is to have findings published in a peer-reviewed science journal. But unlike the collective act of designing, conducting and analyzing data, which usually has elements of fun and excitement (especially in wildlife research), publishing can be downright punishing. From the initial submission of a manuscript to journal editors, through reviews and revisions, to having a paper reprint in hand can take one and sometimes two years.
On this Christmas Eve, most of us have an ornamented tree of one sort or another in our house, a tradition that goes back at least to the 1500s in Europe and one that was firmly established in most U.S. households by 1920. Most of us also know that Alaska provided the Capitol Christmas Tree that stands outside the White House, a gift from the Chugach National Forest and celebrated in the essay by fifth-grader Anna DeVolld from Soldotna. What an incredible story and what an incredible tree! A more than 90-year-old, 74-foot, giant Lutz spruce—a what?!
A couple of weeks ago, the Peninsula Clarion carried a story about the Bunny Task Force, formed to deal with the 200 or so once-domesticated rabbits that are now living in the wilds around Juneau. The bunnies have gone feral, meaning they escaped or were released from captivity and are now breeding in the wild.
Perhaps the most common plant on the Kenai Peninsula is Calamagrostis canadensis, the bluejoint reedgrass. This perennial grass grows in dense colonies near the coast and along stream banks. It has become the dominant plant on the slopes around Caribou Hills that were deforested after a spruce bark beetle outbreak in the late 1980s and 1990s. It is interdispersed among the understory foliage in both softwood and hardwood forests, tending to fill in where gaps in the canopy occur. Bluejoint was even found growing on a nunatak jutting out of Petrof Glacier in the southern Kenai Mountains!
Bear spray is a weapon. Just like any weapon, you've got to know how to use it so it stops what you want it to stop (a bear) and doesn't stop you. What got me thinking about this story is just last week a friend and her niece ended up in our local ER when the bear spray canister stuck between her car seats accidentally deployed. Needless to say, lots of tears and crying.

Kanye West
This has been touted as the year's most anticipated release -- less because of what Kanye West has achieved as half of Roc-A-Fella's hit-making house production team and more because of what he represents: the long-awaited bridge between hip-hop's over- and underground. He's a guy who admits that he wants to sport both "a Benz and a backpack" and is described as "the future of hip-hop" by Mos Def and many others. That's a hell of a load for a relative microphone novice, yet West's sometimes-stiff delivery masks the soul of a real MC.
Over the ominous gospel march of "Jesus Walks," he breaks down a crisis of faith in just two pithy lines: "I wanna talk to God/But I'm afraid, 'cause we ain't spoke in so long." And the amazing "Self Conscious" is a would-be playa's admission that he's seen the Emperor of Bling with no clothes -- and still desires the same suit, in spite of himself.
Like all great albums, College Dropout works equally well for those with no idea of the context. Expanding on West's signature plundering of old soul records, these rich, classy tracks undoubtedly will convince the oblivious to extend his chart reign. Little wonder that the chorus of "Keep the Receipt" taunts, "Does anybody else make hits anymore?" Well, there are those Neptunes fellows, but if this is the future of hip-hop -- smart, funny lyrics with beats you can bang to -- who's gonna complain?

Description: Britain warns of 'all-out civil war' in Syria. According to the AFP, Britain warned that failure by the two sides in Syria to implement UN envoy Kofi Annan's peace plan could lead to "all-out civil war and collapse" in the violence-torn country. Foreign Minister William Hague said "It is not as if the alternatives in Syria are the Annan plan or the Assad regime retaking control of the country. The alternatives are the Annan plan or ever increasing chaos in Syria and the descent closer and closer to all-out civil war and collapse."
Taiwan 'deploys anti-China missiles'. According to the AFP, Taiwan has for the first time deployed cruise missiles capable of striking key military bases along the southeast coast of the Chinese mainland. Mass production of the Taiwan-made Brave Wind missiles, which have a range of 300 miles, has been completed and the missiles have come into service. Taiwanese experts estimate that China's military, the People's Liberation Army, has more than 1,600 missiles aimed at the island. Kevin Cheng, editor-in-chief of the Asia-Pacific Defense Magazine, said "To some extent, the weaponry can serve as a deterrent. In case of war in the Taiwan Strait, the missiles could be used to attack the airports and other military bases of the People's Liberation Army."
Strong earthquake strikes northern Argentina. According to Reuters, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck northern Argentina early on Monday. The quake occurred at 2:07 a.m. local time and was centered 72 miles east-southeast of San-ti-ago del Es-ter-o. Police in the town said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the quake, which was upgraded from an initial 6.3.

Skip to comments.Kmiec considers himself a candidate for Vatican ambassadorship
Posted on 01/27/2009 3:15:55 PM PST by NYer
.- Pepperdine University law professor Doug Kmiec, a pro-life advocate of President Barack Obamas election, has stated that he thinks he will be considered as a choice for U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See.
Kmiec and his wife attended a private worship service with President Obama the morning of the presidential inauguration and also attended the Illinois inaugural ball that evening, Pepperdines student newspaper The Graphic reports.
"The President is nowhere close to determining such things because of the order of events everyone's first order of business is economic recovery," Kmiec said, according to The Graphic. "At the appropriate time, when diplomatic relations through the State Department need to be addressed, I think my name would be part of the discussion."
Kmiec, who served as legal counsel for the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, has recently been criticized for his contention that a pro-life Catholic could vote for Obama in good conscience.
The U.S. Ambassador under George W. Bush, Mary Ann Glendon submitted her resignation to the White House prior to President Obama's Inauguration, as is customary for all ambassadors when a new President is elected, reports Inside the Vatican.
In a Catholic News Service Story updated on January 26, after the first Vatican negative reaction to the Obama administration, John Thavis wrote: "the Vatican is closely watching for Obama's choice of a new U.S. ambassador to the Vatican. An early appointment would be viewed at the Vatican as a sign of the president's interest and attention to the Holy See."
The choice of ambassador is, of course, up to the president. One informed Vatican official dismissed an earlier report that the Vatican, in a nod toward conservative Catholics, might veto the appointment of a high-profile Catholic supporter of Obama. Rejecting an ambassador for those kinds of political motives is not in the tradition of Vatican diplomacy and would, in fact, be very dangerous, the official said."
President Obamas reversal of the Mexico City Policy, which had prohibited federal funding of international groups that promote or perform abortions, prompted Vatican officials first critical response of his presidency.
Archbishop Rino Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, has criticized "Among the many good things that he could have done, Barack Obama instead has chosen the worst," he said.
"I do not believe that those who voted for him (Obama) took into consideration ethical themes, which were astutely left aside during the election debate. The majority of the American population does not take the same position as the president and his team."
In November, a Vatican official with the Secretary of State denied that Prof. Kmiec has a chance of becoming a U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, telling CNA under condition of anonymity "This will never happen."
CNA recently consulted the same official, who said:
"Obviously the Holy See will not openly veto Kmiec's appointment. But the process is not that simple. There are always back channel consultations with the (Vatican) Secretary of State, and there is no chance that he (Kmiec) will pass that test.
"There are many ways to tell the Obama administration way in advance that such an appointment would not be a good idea. There are many other candidates, Catholic or not, that would not spark the kind of antagonism and division that Professor Kmiec has sparked, as he himself has recently admitted," the official told CNA.
Selling his soul for a mass of pottage.
I am glad I was not eating or drinking a glass of wine while reading this...I am afraid my MacBook Pro would have taken a bath.
Well, this is a marginally interesting version of Pay for Play, isn't it?
He is a legend in his own mind.
Kmiec a pro-life advocate?must be a misprint?
the EGO at work here.....amazing. hardly the words of a humble, God fearing man.
I hope the Vatican would send him back postage due.
We see that for which the minion of Satan sold his soul.
If he gets it, one hopes he enjoys it, as he will likely pay dearly and eternally for it.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
Candidate for burning at the stake.
Pride, the root of all evil.
I sent the vatican and CDF all of his writings, including his recent bashing of pro-life Catholics in print.
I also explained the struggles I had with priests, the faithful due to his support and obstinate will to misrepresent Obama's stance to get the Catholic vote.
That along with the America mag column his friend wrote were horrible. Oh, and the lying cache of Obama's prolife and Catholics for Obama sites.
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
—Mark 8:36
Excuse me while I yak!
If Kmiec is appointed by Obama and confirmed by the Senate, I hope Pope Benedict excommunicates him and sends him home when he shows up.
I wonder if the Holy See has ever PNGed an ambassador on arrival.
The Judas Goat as Ambassador to the Vatican? Great humor and irony there.
Persona non grata
Declare him Persona Non Grata. Throw him out, basically. In this case, it'd be before he was really in.
"There are many ways to tell the Obama administration way in advance that such an appointment would not be a good idea. There are many other candidates, Catholic or not, that would not spark the kind of antagonism and division that Professor Kmiec has sparked, as he himself has recently admitted," the official told CNA."
The Vatican doesn't want him and will even take a non-Catholic over him. Says a lot.
How on earth could this individual face the Vatican after he sold his soul to the devil. He's got a real nerve.
Sockmonkey considers him a candidate for an Exorcism.
In prior years, were ambassadors to the Holy See afforded immunity from the Roman Inquisition?
I doubt that the Pope would accept him.
unbelievable hubris; it's breathtaking.
Sorry, that made me spit tea on the keyboard. What a pathetic, delusional person.
You nailed it all along.
How the hell do you pronounce it.....Ke-meck....Ke-me-ick....Kem-ick......Ker-mit........
Ahh... so what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his soul in the process?
I should have read the other posts before I posted. I guess it's all very obvious.
I wouldn't put it past Obama to pick a so-called "Catholic" such as Gavin Newsom or Frances Kissling, thinking that he'd score some political victory over Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Church.
In a larger point, isn't Kmiec merely a child of that unfortunate confluence of Vatican II and the social/sexual revolution of the sixties? This is why a return to the timeless traditions of the Church, including the traditional (yes, Latin) Mass is vital. No traditional Church, no traditional doctrine...or values.
#1 It would be nice if the Ambassador to the Vatican were Catholic; Kmiec does not qualify
#2. Rather than making a trip to Rome, Kmiec should make a stop first at the confessional.
I hope Benedict XVI refuses to accept Kmiec's credentials. He provided a lot of cover for Democrat Catholics to vote for Obama. By doing so, he played a material role in advancing the Culture of Death worldwide. He needs to be held accountable.
Of course he is. Does anyone think his controversial, Obama-supporting stance was an accident?
So now we know why he was vigorously osculating 0bama'a dorsum.
SOB didn't lose it. He threw it away!
Doubtful. I think the Holy Father will choose not to make waves with Obama by snubbing his pick. There's already contention in U.S.-Vatican relations. That said, I think it may be a good thing for Kmiec to get the post and have direct exposure to Vatican reps who can hopefully get him back on the right track.
If he gets selected, instead of condemning his soul to hell, we should pray even more that direct exposure to Vatican officials will straighten him out.
It would seem that we should pray for the repentance and conversion of the entire 0bama administration.
Of course, but Kmiec is playing the Prodigal Son here. Can we at least hope his proximity to the Vatican will wake him up?
"Lose" his soul???
SOB didn't lose it. He threw it away!
Maybe you should write a New, New, New version of the King James Bible.
Well THAT'S unfortunate - not much I'd like better to see.
Could we just enjoy the spectacle of him eating some husks before he gets the fatted calf? I know I'm being petty.
What's the matter? Isn't Obama-rumpswab and Catholic apostate Minnesota Representative Keith Ellison available?
Are you TEX on www.bloggingtheboys.com? He always speaks in 3rd person about himself too and I see you are from Texas. I hope you are not him, lol.
Nope, never even heard of that site. BTW, I think the post you saw was the only time I've referred to myself in third person on FR.

This is great, especially for those who like hot dogs covered with everything under the sun! (me) This is just plain comfort food! Great recipe and a keeper in our house! Thanks for sharing!
High level comfort food happening here :D. This is an easy recipe that elevates the humble hot dog to something that makes you think a silent "Oh Yeah" (silent because your mouth is stuffed). I'm going to make a double batch and freeze many packets so that it will be ready on the quick. Thanks much for this keeper Coffee.
This got the 'yummy' vote in my house! We love chilli dogs,and always have to have one not long after flying into the States. This time however,we opted to make another one of our U.S favourites,chilli cheese fries. This worked a treat,and they were devoured in a flash. A great tasting,simple and speedy recipe...a winner!

He may not be wrong, but it's still a family bonding. Sure the little shit has no idea why he's dressed like that, but down the road he'll look back and be glad his father or mother took the time to get into costume, get him into costume, and spend time with him instead of plopping him in front of the t.v. all day.

You can't be sure that the kid will think that predator is cool or that dressing like that is cool when he gets older.
Maybe he'll enjoy being a couch potato.

Very true, but at least he'll be happy he bonded with his family. He may prefer being a couch potato, but still. I prefer to do nothing all day, but I'm so glad that My parents took the time to be with me when I was younger.

Oh believe me I won't, I will admit though that if I put the effort in to working out and growing a beard I could cosplay as Kano.
Just too lazy to do so.
Any you thought about doing?
#47 - wilfredfanforever (06/22/2014) [-]
You should totally go for it. A Kano cosplay would be fucking awesome. I'm a pretty thin guy myself, so I would have to make some major changes to cosplay as someone. I guess I could do Quan chi, but nah.
#49 - youxbarstard (06/23/2014) [-]
Yeah he's pretty much the only guy I even look similar to,not that it matters this year at least because the only event that I can get to is too close for me to get a decent beard or grow any decent muscle.

THey tend to break easily. I used to wear in ears. I'd probably go through 1 pair a month at least, not because i was rough with them but because they were used every single day and they were taken in and out of the pocket quite often. I've had this same around the ear pair for a year and a half now.

I have a lot of excel/ CSV files that I need to load into my db in MySQL Workbench (I'm on Mac OS X). I've searched around for a good walk-through or tutorial, but I haven't seen anything that clearly explains how to load CSVs into MySQL Workbench....can anyone help?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
are you trying to load csv files into a MySQL table? You can do that easily with the
You should be able to enter that command from any interface to MySQL. I'm assuming workbench has a way for you to execute sql queries.
Does it have to be Workbench?
Can you use other MySQL bins?
Here's an example: Create database

For reference, I wanted to do this on Windows and used HeidiSQL to accomplish the task. It was very straightforward, I used Tools -> Import CSV file and it worked on the first try.
Or you could use Excel to generate a lot of LOAD DATA INFILE statements using a list of files to load.
Say, you could:
So, you would have LOAD DATA statemens in B column of Excel and could just copy&paste them into mysql command line.
Maybe it would not be too convinient to power user of scripting, but could make sense for strong user of MS Excel.
This was convoluted for me, but here is what I did:

Skip to comments.Feds Duck Controversy--Restore Prize For Stamp Art to 6-year-old Girl
Posted on 05/06/2013 12:33:38 PM PDT by SgtHooper
A 6-year-old South Dakota girl who was initially accused of cheating in a federally-sponsored art contest was restored as a winner, and her painting of a duck is again on track to be used on a U.S. postage stamp.
A 9-by-12-inch oil painting of a canvasback duck by Madison Grimm, of Burbank, S.D., was declared the winner from some 29,000 entries in the 2013 Federal Junior Duck Stamp Contest. In addition to having their artwork immortalized on a stamp, winners receive a $5,000 scholarship. But days after the April 19 announcement, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service officials said Madison whose father is a wildlife artist had used an illegal transferring technique. The agency then crowned Peter Coulter, 17, of Missouri, for his acrylic painting of snow geese.

(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
She was re-instated, but does anyone think she can draw that well? And the fact that her father is a professional artist and had won a previous context? Hmmm, something is fishy here.
context = contest. Wish we has editing previleges on our own posts. :-)
Arooooo Wonk Wonk. The grammar police are coming for you!
A 6 year old? Frankly, I would have to watch her do something right before my eyes before I believe her dad didn't have a hand in this.
If not, then she is a prodigy. Like a once in a generation prodigy.
She looks and sounds like an intelligent little girl. Congratulations to her for winning!
I don't have a problem with an artist using a graphite transfer technique. Artists do it all the time. The only objection I can see is if the photo she traced was published. They apparently were attempting to avoid copyright issues. Apparently, it was an unpublished photo, so no foul.
It's entirely possible that the girl is a prodigy.
>> Apparently, it was an unpublished photo, so no foul.<<
It looks like she ducked the problem after being caught in a web of regulations.
Mozart composed pieces at age seven. His father was a musician.....
Seems like she should have used one of her own unpublished photos to be legitimate.
The fact that Daddy is an artist actually make it more probable that the work is hers. Parents tend to pass on their knowledge to their offspring especially if the offspring shows talent.
High levels of artistic talent run in families.
"It looks like she ducked the problem after being caught in a web of regulations."
That might be a fowl.
I think they have video or pictures of her painting.
What people call a prodigy is often just ghe result of an environment rich in a specific discipline, a lot of parental input and reward for achievement. People use the term prodigy as if describing a freak of nature because they don't want to face the fact that a high level of parental involvement combined with a high-information household is the difference that makes a difference.
Agree... looks a little too good to be true.
That was a great wise quack
There are motor dexterity things that a family can NOT teach to a 6 year old -- this also applies to musical instruments and in some cases singing and other arts.
You could teach arithmetic to a 6 year old, but it would be all but impossible for that 6 year old to discover calculus ON HIS/HER OWN.
Bottom line, if a 6 year old can paint like that then he/she is a "freak of nature" (your unfortunate choice of words -- I would have "a talent so rare as to be well beyond 99.999% of people of the same age irrespective of environment") or has been "helped" by "parental involvement."
My only question is why these jerks are having contests...Shouldn't they be trying to break even?
That might be a fowl.
I think they have to prove that she had mallard aforethought.
See here.
Ludicrous. Rembrandt couldn't paint that well when he was six. Six-year-olds may be brilliantly talented and have a fabulous eye for color and form, but this image shows a mastery of technique that even people who become successful professionals must study for years to grasp. The handling of the water and the light on the duck's neck is that of an experienced pro. Let the young lady sit down and show her skills in front of witnesses who are not family members; then I'll believe.
I watched that video. Didn't see her pick up a paintbrush. I saw the hand movements of a talented child as she used a pencil to color in some dark areas, but did not see her mixing paints, applying them, blending, adding detail—anything.
Ditto. Nothing in the video showed the ability needed to produce the winning picture. Although I would like to believe that if her prize was reinstated, the judges were convinced it was her work. Is it possible photos we are seeing are of the father's photo and not her painting?
Having worked for an artist, who comes from a long line of artists, and having seen artwork from Chinese prodigies, yes, it is possible for a 6 year old to draw/paint that well.
It is not unusual for a child whose age is in single digits to be the equal or better of her artistic parents. This girl will probably get there a bit early.
with the new GDP rules, will this give it a bump?
My sentiments exactly. Even if it was color by the numbers, it would require some skill in smoothing, shading, edges, etc. Way too suspicious for me.
I've been on FR for a long time and I haven't seen too many changes around here, so my guess is no.
Apparently some practical aspects of the site, including the fact that we add HTML by hand, are viewed as laughably antiquated by some people familiar with other forum sites on the Internet.
But the site isn't run for profit and and as far as I can tell all changes are made by one guy who can only work on it part time. Maybe they could find some trustworthy volunteers to do an update.
FR does work pretty well without a lot of fancy stuff. In some ways the relatively sparse design is an attractive aspect.
The ability to correct typos after posting would be nice. But maybe there are some good reasons for not allowing people to go back and edit or remove their remarks.
lack of artistic talent (like this) runs in my family:

Parsley & Lemon Spaetzle
From EatingWell: January/February 1995
Although making homemade spaetzle may sound intimidating, it's actually quick and easy to make. Although a special gadget called a spaetzle maker works best, you can press the dough through the holes in a colander. Make it a meal: Echo the lemon flavor and serve with Herb & Lemon Roast Chicken.
Makes: 4 servings
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Freshly grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4-1 cup low-fat milk, divided
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Fill a large pot two-thirds full with lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
- Combine flour, lemon zest, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together 3/4 cup milk, whole egg and egg white in a large measuring cup. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in enough of the egg mixture, stirring with a whisk or fork, to make a smooth batter. (It will resemble thick pancake batter. Add more milk if necessary.)
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns a light nutty brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Immediately remove from the heat, stir in lemon juice and set aside.
- Lightly oil a spaetzle maker or a colander or coat with cooking spray. Place the spaetzle maker (or colander) over the boiling water. Scrape one-third of the batter into the spaetzle maker (or colander) and force it through the holes. Boil the spaetzle until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. Then, scoop them out of the water with a slotted spoon and place in the skillet with the lemon butter. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Add parsley and toss the spaetzle in the lemon butter over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 4. Lift the dumplings from the boiling water and drop them into a large bowl of cold water. Drain and refrigerate, then reheat in the pan at serving time.
- Although a special gadget called a spaetzle maker works best, you can press the dough through the holes in a colander.
